Fire Doors

Legislation and third party certification

Fire door installations are one of the vital elements in any building.

Their correct specification, installation and regular maintenance are determined by both the Building Regulations and various British Standards.

Providing third party certified fire doors are used they will be deemed to satisfy the Building Regulations - Approved Document B (2000 edition).

BG Timber Ltd fire door products are all independently third party accredited to achieve the required performance standards. The BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door and Doorset Scheme was established by the fire door manufacturing industry to:

• Guarantee the product through assessing and certificating the design and production process, testing its performance and regular audit checks
• Offer a clear, simple method of tracing a fire door back trough all the stages of manufacture and maintain the guarantee.
• Bring together fire door manufacturers, their suppliers, door converters, retailers and installers to work in alliance across the supply chain

Most of the time, a fire door is just like any other door. But if fire breaks out, it performs a vital and specific task by burning at a particular rate to act as a barrier to hold back the spread of the blaze. A fire door is carefully and precisely designed, engineered and tested in accordance with British and European Standards to ensure that if it is ever called upon, it does what it is supposed to do.
